noalarmplanet Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Nope...got it for a buck somewhere...I can't remember where exactly I would give my right arm for a pressing of all of the songs from A Muppet Christmas Carol. It is my favorite Christmas movie and probably contains the best Ebenezer Scrooge performance of all time from Michael Caine. When Belle sings that song "The Love Is Gone" and old Scrooge is crying and singing right beside her but he can't actually talk to her...damn...I lose it every time. I fucking love that movie Muppet Christmas Carol is the absolute best version. I set out to see every single incarnation of a Christmas Carol and without a doubt Muppet Christmas Carol is the pinnacle of that story. Have an upvote good sir!

Metal Mike Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Its just so awful. Not trolling. Just saying. I guess you'll be getting no presents for Christmas! David Loyd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Loyd Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'm all over christmas albums! Growing up, for thanksgiving and christmas dinner at my grandparents house, they always put christmas albums on as we ate. Half price books, antique stores, thrift shops always have them real cheap. Aside from Charlie Brown, Burl Ives, Andy WIlliams, Frank Sinatra should all be must owns. There were some great compilations put out every year by Firestone. Looking forward to this one this year http://www.amazon.com/It-Feels-Like-Christmas-Time/dp/B00F0MNC80/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_2 Found this last year, which I guess is kind of rare? Copies show up on ebay from time to time, but it's kind of cool. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_Wrapped_Vol._II Vey cool find. I found vol 1 on discogs last night for a decent price. No luck with Vol 2 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Mike Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I don't know if they have anything coming this year (y'all must have been bad), but ANGRY SNOWMANS! http://angrysnowmans.bandcamp.com/ I'd never heard of this, but it's fucking great!

thomasj182 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 If you are not spinning this, you're doing something wrong. It's not a Christmas if I haven't listened to this. Just bought this on a whim because I love xmas music, never heard it before. Glad I did! Any other recommendations similar to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatBishop3000 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Vey cool find. I found vol 1 on discogs last night for a decent price. No luck with Vol 2 though. Only place you're gonna get it right now is eBay. Just got mine in the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick6ten Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Very cool find. I found vol 1 on discogs last night for a decent price. No luck with Vol 2 though. I need to get vol. 1, I also saw it on discogs, and ebay last night. Nothing is going to beat finding vol. 2 for $3.99 new last year.

I paid $16 total which I thought was a very fair price for a sealed copy. Supposed to be one red one green disc. Not to mention the artists involved are pretty awesome. Can't wait to listen to it.

gutzonborglum Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Now I know this isn't on vinyl, but c'mon! It's GB! Probably the most egocentric, douchey, pompous sonofabitch there ever was, but man, could he sing a song. videogamesandvinyl, YesPlease and jtcohenour 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gutzonborglum Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I didn't even know this existed. I will have to get. It won't disappoint. I don't think I could ever hang out with Garth Brooks anywhere, but I am an unabashed fan. I don't like modern country music, but I love Garth Brooks.

Guest Justin Maheiny Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Not sure if this is a Christmas song but I love Christmas and the back door so I think it's appropriate. But if you prefer your Christmas' funky, both James Brown & Booker T. & the MGs have pretty good Christmas albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylfilmaholic Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Would honestly rather get a classic pressing of "Charlie Brown Christmas" than the green one but I just might have to this year. :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burdenx Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I listen to this a lot around Christmas: http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Stash-Christmas-Album/release/2471191 A fantastic blues and jazz Christmas album and the only place to get some of those Louis Armstrong songs on vinyl. As far as I'm concerned, nobody does Christmas music better than Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Might be somewhat sentimental to me, but "Christmas In New Orleans" is one of my all time favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipc Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Not on vinyl, unfortunately. But Cerys Matthews released this collection off Xmas songs last year... www.discogs.com/Cerys-Matthews-Baby-Its-Cold-Outside/master/589244 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found an OG press of Charlie Brown Christmas still sealed for $10 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick6ten Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Today I scored copies of: Jingle Bell Jazz (http://www.discogs.com/Various-Jingle-Bell-Jazz/release/2468067) Star Wars - Christmas In The Stars (http://www.discogs.com/Meco-Christmas-In-The-Stars-Star-Wars-Christmas-Album/release/489149) How The Grinch Stole Christmas (http://www.discogs.com/Dr-Seuss-How-The-Grinch-Stole-Christmas/release/1764993) This tiny store also had two used copies of Charlie Brown Christmas for $4 or $5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick6ten Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Also, I guess this is as good of a place as any other, I'm in a punk rock christmas band that plays once a year. It's a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that album as a kid and totally forgot that it existed until this post of yours. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
